Kelley West ​Microderm360 is the creation of renowned Licensed Medical Aesthetician, Kelley West who has worked with some of the world’s leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists. Kelley has been seen on The Doctors, E!, Entertainment Tonight, EXTRA and more.

The Microderm360 is equipped with a revolutionary new patent rotating head that allows the Diamond Tip to access hard-to-reach parts of the body at a precise angle, making it the only product with this feature. You can use it on your face, hands, neck, elbows, feet and more. It comes in a pretty box that is easy to holiday wrap or just simply stick a bow on it for gift giving.

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, non-invasive, skin resurfacing through mechanical exfoliation with vacuum suction. The Diamond Tip abrades the skin while the powerful vacuum sucks up the dirt and bacteria from the deepest part of the pore. This gets the pore extremely clean. It stimulates blood circulation and also stimulates your body’s own production of elastin, protein, and vitamin D — everything needed to clean and plump your skin. Microdermabrasion may improve age spots and blackheads; remove thicker, uneven outer layer of skin; reduce scarring, discoloration and sun damage; improve hyperpigmentation; exfoliate your skin,lessen the appearance of stretch marks; reduce fine lines, wrinkles, 11 o’clock lines; reduce or eliminate enlarged pores; and help increase your collagen production for a younger looking complexion.

Eliminate Acne & Reduce Cellulite With This Quick DIY Exfoliator

After running out of my favorite exfoliator I became desperate to find one that worked just as well. Of course when I went to the store they were out of my favorite so I did the next best thing, made my own out of ingredients found in my cabinet. In my video I share how to make a great anti-aging coffee ground (caffeine helps eliminate cellulite and maintains elasticity in your skin) exfoliator that I have also found to help clear my acne. With other ingredients such as honey (natural antibacterial method), salt ( releases toxins from body) and olive oil (adds moisture, eliminates appearance of fine lines and wrinkles) this great exfoliator will make you feel refreshed and invigorated after every use.

See my how-to DIY video below!

Lately it has been a little chilly here in Florida and I started noticing my skin and my lips were starting to get immensely chapped. I had the pleasure of getting to enjoy Good Earth Beauty for myself by trying their Chocolate Lip Scrub and Lavender Body Balm. Both smell and feel absolutely amazing and the lip scrub is good enough to eat, literally. One night after my shower I rubbed some of the body balm on my heels, elbows and used the scrub on my lips. In just 5 minutes I noticed a big difference on my lips and my skin. That’s all it took, just 5 minutes and I have been hooked ever since. Now every time I get out of the shower, instead of grabbing for my lotion, I grab my body balm.

Body Balm

Body Balm

Now you may be asking yourself, “what is body balm”? Well just like it says it is a balm but instead of it being for your lips its for your body. The same consistency and feel as lip balm, Good Earth Beauty body balm calms chapped skin, while the chocolate lip scrub adds incredible moisture, and smoothness.
So have great skin this holiday season with Good Earth Beauty. Makes an excellent gift for the one you just don’t know what give. Check out www.goodearthbeauty.com for more great products.

Lace It Up With Lace Your Face

I have always loved a great facial but lately I have not had time to get to the spa to enjoy one. But thanks to Lace Your Face by Dermovia I can now enjoy an at home facial in just 15 minutes. Lace Your Face is exactly what it says it is. It is a piece of lace that has been shaped to fit your face along with ears and a chin strap to help not only contour but also to help keep the mask in place. Like they say “Its like shape wear for your face”. (check out my YouTube video below on how to use the product)

Lace Your Face

Lace Your Face

The Lace Your Face I got to try was their newest one called Calming Chamomile. With my sensitive skin, chamomile is one of my favorites because not only is it gentle but extremely relaxing. Especially after being on the road for 3 days you just need that little relaxing moment where you can say “ahhhhh”. Another great advantage to Lace Your Face is you do not need to wash it off or even put on your nightly moisturizer. Once the lace has been removed, gently rub the remaining product into your skin and let it do the rest.

My chamomile face mask’s main ingredients are:
chamomile extract- soothes
Tahitian seawater extract- balances
apple stem cell- repairs
squalene- anti-stress
dew grass extract- anti-irritant

Lace Your Face

Lace Your Face

Lace Your Face comes in 8 different kinds. One for pretty much each skin type. So if your ready to experience Lace Your Face for yourself check out www.dermovia.com and start lacing it up! Also see my YouTube video below for more info on how to use your Lace Your Face facial mask.

Head Back to School with Collegiate Brows

unnamed-7

August, 2014 (New York, NY) – Heading off to university and not able to maintain the regular monthly brow shaping appointments? Boom Boom, owner of Boom Boom Brow Bar, says “Get a professional wax before you leave and then take matters into your own hands with these tweezing tips….just remember, the biggest mistake people make is tweezing too much, so avoid over plucking, it can take months for brows to grow back,”

BEFORE diving in, do the homework: The space between brows should be equal to, or a little wider than eyes. Take an eye shadow brush and hold it parallel to the side of the nose, where the brush meets the brow is where the brow should begin. Then, extend the brush diagonally from the nostril, following the outside edge of the eye toward the brow – where the inside edge of the brush hits is where the brow should end. The best brows have a slight arch, hold the brush parallel to the outside edge of the colored part of the eye, where the brush meets the brow is where the highest part of the brow should be.

Give it the old college try…

1. Always have a plan (see above) and pair of clean sharp tweezers. Having a mirror in your room might be better than heading to the dorm bathroom, let ‘em think you were born with your FAB brows.

2. Use Boom Boom’s Push Up brow highlighting pencil (or a white eyeliner) to draw how you want brows to look – follow the shape your professional created before you left. Remember the 3 basics, 1) do not make them too far apart in the center – brows should start at the inside corner of the eye, 2) identify where the arch is and make sure to not over tweeze on the brow bone, it should be a straight line, 3) brows should not be too short length-wise, take it easy on the tweezing, better safe than sorry.

3. Tweeze anything below and above the line – remove the liner and you should have a clean brow that is not over-tweezed. If not, fill in with a Boom Boom Brow Boostier brow powder

* All Boom Boom products needed for perfect brows are available on amazon.com

Malynda Vigliotti (aka Boom Boom) is the flashiest waxer in NYC. She’s obsessed with brows – 100,000+ served at Boom Boom Brow Bar in NYC – and sees no reason why everyone shouldn’t have thick, gorgeous eyebrows. She makes waxing fun and affordable for everyone, just walk-in to 35 Seventh Avenue. Check out what’s cooking on https://www.facebook.com/boomboombrowbar and boomboombrowbar.com

“Do This Not That” On Studio 10

Today On Studio 10 I share some makeup tips and tricks to help avoid some common beauty blunders.

Me on Studio 10

Me on Studio 10

Watch the segment here: http://bcove.me/cf4an222

1. Eyeliner- It is best to use cream eyeliners that come in pots rather than a pencil. Cream eyeliners do not tug on the skin. When applying the eyeliner avoid wearing it on the lower lash line which can cause the “saggy” look. Apply to upper lash line in a 45 degree angle on the outer corner. Also use beige or off white eyeliner in the lower rims to reduce the appearance of eye redness.

2. Eye shadow- Avoid using browns and blacks. Use gold, mauves and even blue greys to add a more open and “lifting” effect to your eyes.

3. Our hands tell our age and of course, many women want to keep that a secret! Most women think that as our hands age we must use a soft, neutral nail color like beige, sheer, & light pink. The truth is that we should actually use a bright bold color to distract the eye from the hand and instead to the nails. Make sure your color is opaque and vibrant such as fuchsia, hot pink, orange and even blues.

4. Lipstick- Lipstick ties the overall makeup look together. As we age our lips tend to get thinner, get wrinkles and lines start to develop. When picking out your lipstick shade keep in mind that light colors make lips look bigger while dark colors tend to make lips look smaller. But you still can wear bright bold colors. In this case tone down eye makeup when going with a bold lip. Stay glossy rather than matte and be sure to use lip liner. To make lips look bigger draw on the outer line of your lip to give a full pout.

5. Last but not least – Our hair can also show many signs of aging. Next time you go to color your hair consider going darker. When using a lightener, it can cause the hair strands to look thinner therefore making hair seem like it is thinning. Darker colors add the look of density and fullness. Talk to your stylist about the options.

Fall into Shape

fall leaves

Fall is by far my favorite time of the year.  And since I’ve been spending more time on the east coast recently, I’m getting the chance to experience some REAL fall weather!  The only downfall to the colder weather for me is that I’m not always as motivated to work out.  Thank goodness I’ve come to learn that I’m not the only one who needs a little bit more of a push at this time of the year!

There are a lot of great bodies in Hollywood, but my friend Elizabeth Morrell is one of the MOST fit people I know….I’m mean, the woman actually has an EIGHT-pack…and an incredible story of how she got there. She’s also a fitness trainer and  the star of her own tv show Ms. Fit One.  So, I figured we could all learn a thing or two about keeping in shape at this time of the year from her. Here’s what she had to say:

Elizabeth Morrell

I am the new kid on the block, literally. I recently moved to Charlotte, North Carolina from Southern California where it is sunny all year long. I can ride my bike outside in any season, the weather is always beautiful – however Charlotte, not so much. I am not accustomed to this cold weather, yes, I said COLD…. to me, but cool to the natives. I guess I can’t stay bundled up under my warm blanket on my big comfy couch, I must find ways to stay in shape in cool weather.

It doesn’t matter if you are already in shape or trying to lose weight, here are a few great workouts for fall season. Spin class, yes, I still must get my ride on. Maybe I can’t ride with the wind blowing in my face but I can still get in my jumps, hills and sprints in a spin class. Spinning is one of the best ways to burn calories without all the pressure on your knees. You can burn up to 1,000 calories in a one-hour class.

spinning1

I really don’t enjoy Yoga, I said it!! But it is an essential practice for the mind, body and spirit – though I admit I am a seasonal Yogi. When it’s cold outside, I seek warmth and why not get a good workout in a controlled heated environment. Hot Yoga calls my name in the fall. Yoga is so necessary for not only your body but your mind. It is a great way to increase strength, gain flexibility and tone your body as well as keep your mind centered and focused, all in one nice HOT place. Namaste.

 yoga

My favorite is resistance/strength/weight training, whatever you call it, (I am that chick in the weight room with the big boys). I love resistance training is all seasons. You can throw on your scarf, hat, coat and gloves and make it to your local gym or you can simply move your furniture around and get busy in the comfort of your own home. Resistance training is so important! It is not just for body builders! It improves muscle strength and tone; it boosts your energy, improves your mood, and increases your self-esteem. I can go on and on about the benefits of strength training but the bottom line is, pick up a pair of dumbbells, a resistance band and a ball and you have a total home gym.

home gym

There you have it three things you need to keep you in shape for the fall: Spin for cardio, it builds your endurance and burns fat. Hot Yoga, for your flexibility and focus and resistance training for building your muscle strength and overall total body wellness.

Check out your local fitness centers to find the nearest classes near you and fall into shape with me!

You can read more about Elizabeth Morrell in a recent article here in Courageous Women Magazine.
